Hello - ttc newbie here, this is first month trying. I’m 33 and he’s 30. I promised myself I wouldn’t obsess but the tww is a killer, isn’t it?!Currently 6dpo and determined not to test until 7 Feb, AF is due on the 6th. Only BD’d twice (two days leading up to O) so realise it’s only a slim chance this time around.

Haha well let’s see how restrained I can be!! I don’t temp but have used opk this cycle, wasn’t sure how often I ovulated so was really happy to get a positive result and then ovulation pains the next day! Do you think temping is useful?

Hi everyone...i started this post, and then got bz with life... a little abt myself... I am 35, got 2 kids. Dh wants one more. My lmp was Jan 7 [on our 10th wedding anniversary]... we went on vacation, and BD once on Jan 20th...been feeling kinda nauseous, and super duper tired... body aches and pains, slightly light headed at times, slight cramping in the lower abdominal area.. AF is due around the 4th or 5th of feb... too scared to rest in case I get a negative ..all my symptoms do point to the arrival of AF too... so between everything, I am.a mess !!

Oh bless you, it’s so crap that the symptoms are so similar, makes the wait torturous! Fingers crossed you get the result you want, I think you’re about 3 days ahead of me so let us know when you do decide to test! I’m convinced I won’t be pg so trying to hold out to see if AF arrives.

Jokesondee; temping helps me know for sure that I’ve ovulated vs opk’s alone, which only confirm the surge but not the actual popping of the egg and shift in bbt thanks to progesterone! Temping is also my way of knowing when to spend $$ on tests or not, lol. I have a clockwork 13 day luteal phase and my temp usually starts to nose dive on 10dpo.. so if my temp is still up on 11dpo, I’m probably pregnant! Lol. How are you feeling?? Any symptoms to report?

Sp; with ALL of my pregnancies, I felt EXACTLY like AF was coming! When we conceived our angel baby in August, I was so certain that AF was coming that instead of buying hpts, I bought tampons! Haha. I can’t wait for you to test! FX

Ahh thanks for the info, if we don’t get pg in the first 3 cycles I think I’ll start with temping in that case - sounds like it helps get to know your cycle even better.

I’ve had a few twinges, some tiredness, bbs are sore but nothing that’s really unusual tbh. I think it’s unlikely it’s my month but you never know! Still want to hold out for after AF is due but wondering if I’ll cave on Friday (10dpo) and do a test. How early have people gotten BFPs?

Room for one more??? I am currently 9dpo the two week wait is horrible (and I have been testing everyday- sometimes more than once ) we are working on baby #4. First baby we required fertility treatments, the other two came first month trying- this is our first month trying again, but driving myself crazy! You think I would be jaw to this by now. I am 29 my husband is 35. Right now I have been having nausea, along with cramping, I tell myself I am and I am not in the same thought process. Would love to have some others to join this crazy time with!

Sp- I still don’t think I would have the will power to wait!!! I should have bought stock in pregnancy test lol! I am addicted doing more than one test a time, my favorite is first response they always pick it up the fastest!
